Reloading the chip set driver would repair any damage to it. The core Intel chip set includes the basic IO, including the IDE controller.

If the controller malfunctioned, would it not be likely that it too,would be flagged. It is in the list on the system hardware page where her drives showed error returns.

At least all of my chipset problem have showed up there as controler malfunction. Or they show up on the desk top balloons.
